xfce4-panel launcher problems

Hello,I am trying to add program not visible under existing item list so i choose "a new empty item" button. have filled all fields like i did before. but when I click create it returns to general tab showing nothing. Creating launchers from existing list work without problems. How to fix it or correctly debug?

Re: xfce4-panel launcher problems

To try to rule out whether this is an issue with your profile or an issue with the system, try creating another user account and attempt the same. If it works on another user account, the problem lies with your profile. If the problem also exists on the new user account, then it is a systemic problem. This will help narrow down the scope of the issue.

does xfcepanel keeps launcher entries in data base files?

They are referenced in the xfconf configuration system. You can view them via Settings Manager >> Settings Editor >> "xfce4-panel" channel (also stored in ~/.config/xfce/xfconf/xfce-prechannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml.

I have removed all files dir directories in panel dir. when i start panel it recreated directories?

If you remove the launcher files and directories from ~/.config/xfce4/panel and restart xfce4-panel, you will lose the launcher configurations (will show up as blank launchers).

removing whole .config didn't help as well. Removing .cache sorted out the problem.

- I killed xfce4-panel and the xfce4 configuration daemon: pkill xfce4-panel; pkill xfconfd- I have deleted settings for the panel, rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel- and settings for xfconfd, rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml- I have removed ~/.cache
